Coverage of costs associated with pregnancy

Pregnant women are not required to contribute (excess and deductible) to the costs of maternity-related services. This concerns checkups during and after the pregnancy and childbirth, breastfeeding support and the care provided to new-born babies in good health as well as the mother’s hospitalization.

Vaccination and pregnancy

It is always better to prevent than to treat. Some infectious diseases can be avoided through vaccination. Influenza and whooping cough are particularly dangerous during pregnancy. Vaccination against these two diseases remains possible during the pregnancy and even during the post-partum period. The vaccine is useful as it avoids maternal and fetal complications while preserving your baby’s health up to a few weeks after his/her birth.
